As of July 2013, a new wiki for Europa Universalis III with active admins, more modern software, better spam protection and the possibility to create new accounts(!) has been set up at http://eu3wiki.com/.

All articles from here have been imported, and all users are cordially invited to move over as well :)

Due to spammer activity, account creation here has been disabled indefinitely. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Initially it was a small duchy established in the 12th century east of the Rhine River but over time the area grew in importance especially during the Middle Ages as several cities in the Westphalian region such as Münster and Osnabrück prospered as members of the Hanseatic League.

Map

The map below (old, ) shows the provinces one needs to own before the event will fire (darker colour), and also which provinces will receive Westphalian cores (lighter colour). Note that the map shows correctly that no one can 'form' Westphalia.
